An abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to remove loose skin and excess fat from the middle and lower abdomen. This treatment is often chosen by those who have experienced physical changes due to factors like pregnancy or substantial weight loss, helping to achieve a more balanced abdominal appearance.
At Ashbrooke Cosmetic Surgery in Sydney, we have considerable experience in providing tailored abdominoplasty procedures to meet the unique needs of our patients. For those seeking a more comprehensive approach, abdominoplasty can be paired with Vaser Liposuction to address specific areas around the hips, thighs, and buttocks.
Procedure and Recovery: What to Expect
Your journey begins with a consultation, where Dr Nair will discuss your goals, assess your abdominal area, and create a personalised plan based on your needs. During the surgery, precise techniques are used to remove unwanted skin and fat, creating results that aim to enhance your overall physique.
Risks and Considerations
As with any surgical procedure, it’s important to be aware of the potential risks and considerations. These may include:
- Scarring, which can vary in visibility depending on individual healing responses
- Temporary or prolonged changes in skin sensation around the treatment area
- Possible infection and delayed healing in some cases
- Swelling, bruising, and discomfort during the initial recovery phase
Recovery times vary, and each patient will experience different rates of healing. While many patients can resume light activities within two weeks, others may require a longer period before feeling fully comfortable.
